You should carefully review anything you install from AUR. No review happens there at all. Everyone can upload anything he likes.

Yes, and PKGBUILD files with bad intentions have been published there in the past (https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2018-July/034151.html).

But both Manjaro (https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository) and vanilla Arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository) point out the possible dangers clearly enough in my opinion. Apart from that, it is definitely easier for users to check for example the PKBUILD files in the AUR than ready-made packages in a PPA for Ubuntu.

  • endeavourOS

    • arch + installer + an awesome community

  • spiral linux

    • debian + btrfs + snapper with snapshots in grub
    • I run it with sid and the snapshots are great if anything goes wrong with an upgrade

  • Better defaults than Ubuntu
  • Stable enough for production servers
  • I have many self hosted apps and containers and I have only a few issues time to time which is easily fixable

Sometimes, I feel sick of such simplistic questions. They look like they’re just for triggering people to response.

Alpine Linux Hyperbola OpenBSD

Last is not linux based though.

If you want people to help you, it would be good if you weren’t so condescending…

Edit: Grammar.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
  • No misinformation
  • No NSFW content
  • No hate speech, bigotry, etc
